Liberia Football Association chairman Musa Bility to stand for FIFA presidency

Liberia FA chairman Musa Bility announces plans to stand for the presidency of FIFA following Sepp Blatter's decision to stand down from the role.

Musa Bility, the chairman of the Liberia Football Association, has announced plans to stand for the presidency of FIFA.

The 48-year-old is the second person to declare his candidacy for the role - after former Brazil international Zico - following Sepp Blatter's decision to step down amid allegations of corruption among FIFA officials.

Bility is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "Africa is the largest voting bloc in FIFA and we must take the lead to bring football together.

"We all agree that football is facing a difficult moment and it is in difficult moments that great leaders emerge."

FIFA has called an extraordinary meeting of its Executive Committee for July, when the date for the presidential elections will be decided.
